Melissa Edwards, who worked in business development, said she never felt uncomfortable working at the company. “Yes, it was a bro culture,” she said, “but I had a great time in that culture.” Edwards enjoyed the work—testing games, facilitating logistics, bringing in family and friends on New Year’s Day to stuff envelopes full of StarCraft beta discs—and she loved her colleagues. Edwards also dated several Blizzard coworkers—a trend that was growing common thanks to the demanding workload.
